IN SPITE OF

in spite of
my tears
that fell
like rain
in spite of
the battles
in spite of
my pain.
in spite of
your words
that wounded
my heart
in spite of
the drama
-we both
played our parts.
in spite of
your jealousy
your anger
the strife
i miss having
you here
here
in my life
...in spite of
it all!

VOID

something was missing
from her life
she knew
-there was a
VOID.
she found
no joy
no laughter
no smile
ever touched
her face.
-there was a
VOID.
she knew
that love
would never
find her
that happiness
was only
something to be
read about
in a storybook.
-there was a
VOID.
so she gathered
the pieces
of her broken heart
and went to bed.

IN PEACE

can we just
walk in peace
that's what the world
really needs.
natural disasters
man-made wars
when all
we really need
is love
spread
shore-to-shore.
leaders who
fail to lead
and still
the people plead
who among us
will get it right
walk in peace
without a fight
that's what the world
really needs
and still
the people plead
can we just
walk in peace
cause all we need
is to believe
and
walk in peace.
